Referred to the Committee on Natural Resources, and in addition to the Committee on Agriculture, for a period to be subsequently determined by the Speaker, in each case for consideration of such provisions as fall within the jurisdiction of the committee concerned.
H.R. 7251 would ban the use of images of living political figures on the America the Beautiful pass, the annual national parks pass sold by the federal government. Currently, the pass features artwork selected through a design competition, and this bill would prevent any living current or former elected officials or other living political figures from appearing on the pass. The legislation amends the Federal Lands Recreation Enhancement Act and applies to all national parks and federal recreational lands covered by the pass program. The bill affects the National Park Service and anyone who purchases the annual pass, which allows access to hundreds of federal recreation areas. There is no specific funding mechanism or implementation timeline mentioned in the bill text.
